Excellent build, just read the whole thread :thumbup1:
The manual gearbox stuff, the R154 (5 speed) was from the MKIII Supra turbo, V160/V161 (6 speed) from the MKIV Supra Twin Turbo, W58 (5 speed) from the MKIII and MKIV N/A engined.
You'll kill the W58 with the torque, R154 should be fine and it's so much cheaper to get than the V160.
Got to the love the blown UZ lumps, an American company is starting to offer a 2UZ TT
Looking forward to your next updates and seeing it at JAE.
What piggyback unit are you going to run until you get a standalone in there?

Just dropped the guy who did my car an email for you see if hes got a gearbox in stock.

Roadside Tech I'll keep my eyes open for you.Thats cool mate thanks....:biggrin:
How are you going to control fuelling on a stock LS ECU? (excuse my ignorance if I missed it earlier in the thread)

FPR on the stock ECU i can use about 8 to 9 PSI of boost, over that and it will start to lean i think my wastgate is set to open at 10 psi....

Got an email back mate,
no go im afraid. apparently their becoming rarer due to E type jag boys using them!
Marsdendean Will your car be running at the maximum it can ever produce ie if you want more power its going have to be an engine swap. Or will you be able to change parts in order to produce more power??Hi mate, yea it will only take about 8 or 9 psi with std ECU, but with that that should get me about 350BHP at the wheels
Thanks!
Roadside Tech Upped fuel pressure, 9 psi, stock N/A ECU? wouldn't have thought it was capable, but I'm sure you've done your homework
HI mate, no it will only be running just under half of the maximum power it can produce, this engine will make 1000hp all day long, but to get that out of it i would have to take apart the engine and add pistons and rods, but on stock engine its good for about 480/500HP
